Good morning, Lerato. ✨

You're 24 weeks and 3 days, and your next visit is on Tuesday — about 4 days away. There are a couple of small things I'd love to help you with today. No rush, you can pick:

Help me prep for my visit on Tuesday

You · 1 min ago

Lovely. I'll save what we discuss as a list you can show Sister Sindi at the visit. Three quick questions:

1. How have you been feeling generally this week — sleep, appetite, energy?
2. Any pain, swelling or new sensations you're not sure about?
3. Anything specific you've been wondering — birth plan, classes, what's next?

Sleep is hard — I keep waking around 3am. Otherwise good. I've been getting a bit of pain in my lower back. And I'd like to talk about what to expect for the glucose test.

Thank you. Two follow-ups so I capture this properly:

  • Lower-back pain — is it on one side or both, does it come with any tightening of your bump, and does it ease when you change position?
  • 3am waking — does it tend to wake you with a worry, a need to wee, or just gently?

These details help your midwife distinguish the very normal "your body is heavy now" things from the ones we want to look at.

⚠ Nest noticed something — the words "pain" and "lower back" combined with "waking at 3am" can sometimes signal urinary infection in pregnancy. It's usually nothing, but worth flagging. If you also have burning when you wee, fever, or back pain that's sharp on one side, please call us today rather than waiting for Tuesday.
a small note — I never diagnose. I notice patterns and bring them to your midwife.

Here's what I have so far for Tuesday — does this look right?

For Sister Sindi · 19 May visit
• Sleep: waking around 3am most nights, want to know if there's anything to help
• Lower-back pain (will note details before visit)
• Glucose test in two weeks — what to expect, what to bring
• Routine 24-week check-up

While we're here — I noticed a small gap in your file: blood type isn't recorded yet. Sister Sindi will likely ask at your visit. Do you happen to know it?
